Participants will understand basics of irrigation systems used on small farms (1 â 10 acres). Participants will leave with a list of helpful and very experienced vendors who can address issues particular to their farming operation and provide irrigation materials they may need.

During this talk we will cover the details of how to produce vegetable crops without the need for pesticide intervention. Subjects to be covered include: soil & foliar fertility concepts and techniques, appropriate tillage and no-till techniques, methods for increasing beneficial insect populations, and how to read and react to field conditions for a healthful, profitable crop.
